--Hypertext was for me an organizing metaphor for how we approach the world around us. I'm not the only one who bemoans this shift in the uses of the internet and in the focus of hypertext. But I'm in a community of losers, of people who clicked on what seemed to them to be the right links, but discovered that the public was captivated by something else.
-a good web document as ecstatic on the count of 10 : You read it not so much for what it says but for the links it shows you to other information.
-and finally re-found under uncompelling aside-title believe it or not : Even more specifically, what interests me most is the perhaps somewhat synaptic connection between web pages - the link.

rebecca mead of The New Yorker ---a blog consists primarily of links to other Web sites and commentary about those links. ...most of the new blogs are intimate narratives rather than digests of links and commentary. ...the CB radio of the dave eggers generation
-a place where you put your voice online, updated frequently- says derek powazek
who mead mentions because in June 2000 powazek wrote: if you're a weblogger who's only care is trying to get a link or worrying what the "popular kids" are up to, go away. This site is no longer for you. (In fact, this is the last time I will ever address this proverbial "you" directly.)

-should add that I’m not the first person to draw the parallel between the Web log and the Wunderkammer. should also add that I have no idea who was.
-The brittle logic of the hierarchical index has its indispensable uses, of course, as has the crude brute strength of the search engine. But when their limits are reached (and they always are), only the discriminating force of sensibility will do -- and the more richly expressed the sensibility, the better.
-Barger coined the term [blog] himself when he started his Web log robotwisdom in 1997, though he was hardly the first person to have kept one. "being as transparent as possible"
-also re. sites like About.com, laced with linky content drizzled out by semi-amateur specialists, have incorporated elements of Web logging into their business models //better to see answers.com

what is the wolist?
and from already: eyes wide apart - yes nice drawings -weblog as doodles, I like that and: "Does it look like she's in love with a foot or do you "get" that it's a lifeguard??!" do.you.GET.

"The world is divided, as far as I can tell," said New Yorker writer and cultural critic Malcolm Gladwell, "between people who read Salon and people who read Slate."

SLATE: A brand born on the Web continues to raise the bar
It could be argued that online publications like Slate helped lay the groundwork for bloggers by offering provocative essays on politics, culture, art, business, and practically everything else. We love Slate's "Chatterbox," "Webhead," and its arts and lifestyle coverage. Its multimedia travelogs are splendid. Having started as an experiment in online journalism and advertising eight years ago, Slate burgeoned into a must-read, developing an influential readership and a cache' that was nurtured within Microsoft Corp., despite the fact that the property never did fit into the software maker's empire. Late last year, Microsoft sold Slate to the Washington Post Co. where we believe it is sure to prosper and strike appropriate synergies with the company's other sites.
Online Journalism Review (April 5, 2005)
Slate has made its mark not just with political reporting and insightful features, but with its people-powered aggregators like the groundbreaking Today's Papers and In Other Magazines. The concept is simple: Have a writer read other media and sum it up in a witty way for the time-challenged consumer. Taking on Weblogs makes a lot of sense for Slate, and they promise in their promos to deliver 'Five Million Blogs in Five Minutes.
-Today's Blogs is a lively read and largely focuses on the most popular A-list bloggers and the memes they are following.
National Review Online (June 10, 2005)
I asked [Dan Bartlett, White House communications director] what the most important blogs to read, from the White House's point of view, are. He said that in terms of what influences the mindset of the Washington media, Kausfiles, the Slate daily roundup of the papers, and Andrew Sullivan were crucial ones to keep up with.
--Kausfiles? discussion at Wikipedia: -Mickey Kaus is fairly notable -a very prominent blog on slate.com... frequently mentioned as one of the first political blogs
int: at end of Kausfiles page:
Drudge Report--80 % true. Close enough! Instapundit--All-powerful hit king. Joshua Marshall--He reports! And decides! Wonkette--Makes Jack Shafer feel guilty. Salon--Survives! kf gloating on hold. Andrew Sullivan--He asks, he tells. He sells! David Corn--Trustworthy reporting from the left. Washington Monthly--Includes Charlie Peters' proto-blog. Lucianne.com--Stirs the drink. Virginia Postrel--Friend of the future! Peggy Noonan--Gold in every column. Matt Miller--Savvy rad-centrism. WaPo--Waking from post-Bradlee snooze. Keller's Calmer Times--Registration required. NY Observer--Read it before the good writers are all hired away. New Republic--Left on welfare, right on warfare! Jim Pinkerton--Quality ideas come from quantity ideas. Tom Tomorrow--Everyone's favorite leftish cartoonists' blog. Ann "Too Far" Coulter--Sometimes it's just far enough. Bull Moose--National Greatness Central. John Ellis--Forget that Florida business! The cuz knows politics, and he has, ah, sources. "The Note"--How the pros start their day. Romenesko--O.K. they actually start it here. Center on Budget and Policy Priorities--Money Liberal Central. Steve Chapman--Ornery-but-lovable libertarian. Rich Galen--Sophisticated GOP insider. Man Without Qualities--Seems to know a lot about white collar crime. Hmmm. Overlawyered.com--Daily horror stories. Eugene Volokh--Smart, packin' prof, and not Instapundit! Eve Tushnet--Queer, Catholic, conservative and not Andrew Sullivan! WSJ's Best of the Web--James Taranto's excellent obsessions. Walter Shapiro--Politics and (don't laugh) neoliberal humor! Eric Alterman--Born to blog. Joe Conason--Bush-bashing, free most days. Lloyd Grove--Don't let him write about you. Arianna's Huffosphere--Now a whole fleet of hybrid vehicles. TomPaine.com--Web-lib populists. Take on the News--TomPaine's blog. B-Log--Blog of spirituality! Hit & Run--Reason gone wild! Daniel Weintraub--Beeblogger and Davis Recall Central. Eduwonk--You'll never have to read another mind-numbing education story again. Nonzero--Bob Wright explains it all. John Leo--If you've got political correctness, he's got a column ...

I like media on media... compare contrast, who is what...
...crookedtimber.org - found response to the Economist's new magazine Intelligent Life
...Salon: the New York Sun's not-so-bright debut
and various refs via Nothing New Under the Sun
-- -- --
National Review on Calasso, The Ruin of Kasch:
"Sadly, to quote Calasso out of context cannot possibly reveal the way that everything feels out of context even when it is in context. " but of course I like that.
(notes from before - not really on 7/7 though)

Sith-Boom-Bah
"Sith-Boom-Bah!"by Dale Peck re. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (episode 3 / 6th to be made)
------------------------*May 05 NYObserver - via aldaily (link no longer fxns)
It was Liberacean early genius of cross-platform branding, and one of its first victims who coined the showman’s retort about "crying all the way to the bank" before dying in his mirrored Las Vegas palace, wig still firmly glued to his bald head and God knows how many rings on his fingers.
It’s hard to imagine any other inscription will appear on George Lucas’ tombstone other than "May the Force be with you," yet I would suggest a more telling line, one that Queen Padme says to Anakin Skywalker after his inevitable but still incomprehensible turn to evil: "I can’t believe what I’m hearing." Beneath which, perhaps, some dissenter can one day scrawl the only appropriate answer:
Ka-ching.
